[@jacoboribilik3253]

Number 1 Kasparov has natural talent for the game. Number 2 Kasparov has most likely devoted a significantly larger amount of time to chess than you, if I were to take a guess I'd say you are an occasional chess player. Number 3 This game was part of the Kasparov-Karpov match for the World Title, so he probably spent a good deal of time mulling over each possible move and combination before going for it. So my point is that you shouldn't feel like an idiot in view of the fact Kasparov is the exception and not the rule.

When you do something so many times your brain starts to calculate things even if you don't feel like you aren't paying attention to it.

[@CodeX00Z]

​@@manuman5319 In the end, intuition in chess cames down to pattern recognition. You saw many different positions many times, and u know what positions should be winning for u and just play a move based on that. Often, there is no need to ACTUALLY calculate, which is actually see what are gonna be the next possible moves and lines that derive from your candidate move. If you always calculated every single move you do on the board with a good depth of maybe 10 moves ahead, you would be an engine. It's very tiring to calculate with a good precision, and therefore no human can do it ALWAYS, for long periods of time. And let's not forget that we often make mistakes or miss something on the spot, and that time management on a match is a big factor too. Often times when you play chess, you just think "I think this is a fine move, let me see if there is an immidiate threath... Uh... Yea, seems good, let's do it." This feeling is much more accurate and much more profound at GM level, and even greater at Super GM level. Kasparov was a beast at many things on the board, and his "intuition" is one of the most remarkable things about him. More than World Champion, Garry is chess legend - there is no discussion about that.

[@JayzsMr]

I don't think no one had ever so much technical understanding of Chess as Kasparov. Bobby Fischer and Carlsen are genius and sometimes it comes natural to them, but Kasparov literally understood upside down the probabilities and tactics of every single move made on the board. Even Carlsen once said that he could not explain how he knew, but he just knew what to do, while Gary not only knows, he knows why and that's what differentiates him from everyone.

[@metalgearsolidsnake6978]

i think Fisher can be compared to Kasporov, Carlsen is a genius without a doubt, but he seems slower in this thinking compared to what kasporov shows.. i wanted to meet each other on their peaks.. would be nice to see

[@wiredog771]

I had the same opinion when I first saw this some years ago. But after studying chess everyday, it is not as remarkable as it appears. Gary also said, “I found some of these later.” Clearly he looked at this for a long while before the interview. Chess players also use technical memorization tricks like chunking and retrograde analysis. Check out GM Maurice Ashley’s Ted Talk on the subject. I never thought I could do this. Now I have several games committed to memory and I’m 46. In summation, you def can do this with some effort.

[@jaconova]

@@wiredog771 Oh, come on! If you had progress in chess good for you, if must have take effort and dedication. If the case of a GM like Kasparov that effort and dedication is just out of reach for most ordinary men. So please refrain next time you have the urge to say "oh i can do that too, is easy" or "is not remarkable". It makes you look as a dbag, plus is not truth: nothing is easy, everything takes dedication.

All I was trying to do was to encourage those who watch this who don’t study chess and will be scared off the game completely or from trying to get better because to the untrained eye, this looks super human when, after you get a coach and study a single position or game for a period of time, these calculations don’t seem impossible.

In Yasser Seirawan words: "All that Spassky could say was yes, of course, yes, of course, while Gary analyzed his game with absolute mastery.

I love how excited he tells and shows how genius his position is, you can tell he is proud of how infallible it is, hey! I would be aswell, the position is just perfect

[@Steven_Kiagiadakis]

Explanation from the perspective of numbers: 10 attackers (11% more) - 9 defenders 5 attackers (25% more) - 4 defenders 4 attackers (33% more) - 3 defenders 3 attackers (50% more) - 2 defenders 2 attackers (100% more) - 1 defender

[@elvis3571]

quantity PLUS quality (think about 2x Knights vs 1x Queen).

[@motivesgrind]

its absolutely stunning he can calculate everything in the right way!

For the same reason you would watch an orchestra even tho you don't play any instrument :)

[@juantitofumero9905]

It's mind boggling to me how he's able to play through these theoretical lines and still memorize the original position in order to rearrange the pieces to exactly where they were.

[@TheQ-Continuum]

Incredible when you realise that GK is doing this to Karpov !! Who was World Champion for ten years from 1975 to 1985. Karpov in his heyday and pomp hardly ever lost a game and he was never outplayed and outclassed like this by anyone. I doubt that even Fischer at his peak could have done this to Karpov !!

[@stefandarkveil4664]

skyrim no wait for your business

[@RayVitoles]

actually the score between them is really close,i think 2 point difference,so their competitive strength was about equal..Karpov was really good at countering your strategies,thats why Kasparov tried to win by tactics and complications,otherwise it would be like 98 draws 1 win and 1 loss

[@sadboitimes9012]

You seem to be forgetting that Karpov became World Champion by default. Fischer would have whooped his ass if his requirements had been met.

[@forestdutch]

Karpov after he got the title when crazy on tourney he had a record or still have winning most tourney in the history of chess just to proof he earned that tile. Karpov was great chess champion. @@sadboitimes9012

[@seankauder9721]

Kasparov will be always one of the best players for me.

The way he puts the pieces back on the board so quickly is oddly satisfying

I love Kasparov's games and Kasparov's person. Thank you for uploading this video, I enjoyed it a lot!

[@JJSideshowBob]

Why is it that I can barely play chess but am still fascinated by chess videos and could listen to this forever. Especially Kasparov.

[@America-ev4rk]

That is truly amazing.

Kasparov is the best player in chess ever! Yeah Carlsen has a higher rating now but Kasparov "invented it all". I'm not saying Carlsen is "a copycat" but I'm only saying he is continueing what Kasparov started decades ago. Carlsen is a skilled player who can turn a seemingly tied middlegame into his win but Kasparov could sacrifice and still win along with these multidimensional combinations we just saw here against Karpov. No question, Kasparov is the best chess player ever this far.

[@Corey-ld7os]

I think Petrosian was the best of all time

[@Corey-ld7os]

+elijah shypitsyn his sharpness of mind is underestimated by many because of his draw before loss attitude but when the big games were on the line he brought out one of the best attackers to play the game

[@Corey-ld7os]

+elijah shypitsyn draw before win* is what I meant he didn't go for the throat till his opponent messed up for the most part

[@ex59neo53]

I have a problem with your statement . Computers have changed the history of chess ,as means of transport did . Bobby Fischer ,for me ,is still the best ,because he became the WC all by himself ,without our actual technology .

[@zemerick1]

to me..Kasparov played a lot of moves that , by being taught by the book, would have lost the game. However, he 'knew' it should work and it more than less did. It was just a master at work. I still think RJF would beat him in a match, though. Just because of RJF masterful knowledge of theory.

[@SojuNinja]

You do what you love with all your passion and all your time, you become a master.

[@FnDuK]

And how the heck Kasparov could foresee all the future moves in mind in such a time limit?? Damn! genius!

[@joeleline6449]

Fascinating...

People don’t remember probably now. But Karpov was so unbelievably good as well. You should interview him too 👍🏻

[@mrsmith3930]

Fantastic battles between two great players at that time in chess history I was lucky enough to be able to get tickets for the London leg of their 1986 World Championship match. Life is a bizarre journey for me because in 2000 I gave up a job in pro football to become a full-time chess coach and when Gary came to a London book signing at the old Euston chess shop I went along and with thousands of others lined up to meet him. I got his attention when I asked him to sign his autobiography and he asked me what I thought of the book. I still treasure that book it is hidden in my library with thousands of other books.

[@Count.Dracula46]

Kasparov, Alekhine and Capablanca are and will always be my most favorite players of all times. Greatest playets of all times, in my humble opinion. Kasparov's attack, Alekhine's ultra deep combinations and Capablanca's perfect and error-free move choices. What magicians!

[@thunder9793]

nah mann u wrong afffg

[@Count.Dracula46]

@@thunder9793 about what?

[@thunder9793]

@@Count.Dracula46 about not including neither fisher, magnus, morphy, nor lasker in the list these are the true greatest players of thier times they were unmatcheble in their primes, lasker was a champ for 27 years, morphy probably had the greatest gap between him and other players of his time, fisher litteraly managed to defeat one of the biggest countries in history, tens of USSR 's best players were helping boris to prepare while fisher only had himself and his trainer, and lastly magnus carlsen currently demonstrates the level of chess understanding that has never been seen before, he is without a doubt the best player that ever existed, he is the true mozart of chess, especially the endgames, the are super accurate and Carlsen doesn't blunder, maybe alekhine and capablanca were geniuses but the guys I listed were much better. (P. S. I agree about Kasparov, he is also one of the goats)

[@Count.Dracula46]

@@thunder9793 Fischer was amazing too, and I love his playstyle a lot. About Carlsen, he had and has the chess engines and database of millions of games and openings available to him. Capablanca had engine level accuracy a whole century before. As much as I love and respect Morphy and Dr Lasker, nothing comes even close to the beauty of Alekhine's chess. And btw, Malik Mir Sultan Khan was hands down the most amazing and genius chess player of recorded history.

[@thunder9793]

@@Count.Dracula46 Don't underestimate Carlsen just for him havimg engines, engines can't help in the endgame or in the late middlegame, they do help you with openings and also show you your mistakes but blaming magnus's success solely on engines and databases is wrong cause every other player today also has it but magnus still manages to dominate and had 5 world titles which is a very serious feat, also I agree that alekhine was a great tactician but mikhail tal's games are much more beautiful and interesting to watch and can youbplease explaine by which logic you put malik sultan khan above all the players that i have listed
